Two rockets were fired yesterday.

North Korea says a missile test this week was launched from a train.

Two rockets were fired yesterday, striking a target around 500 miles away in the sea.

State run media says it was a trial of a new 'railway-borne missile system'.

This week it also tested a long-range cruise missile which analysts think could have nuclear capabilities.

North Korea said it successfully launched ballistic missiles from a train for the first time and was continuing to bolster its defenses, after the two Koreas test-fired missiles hours apart in dueling displays of military might. https://t.co/yl9CU0DGHN
